    My previous ones were from voltas.

    First of all room size please.

    Then Go for either Daikin or Bluestar, best in class

    One info:
    Last year 3 Star rating products has Energy efficiency ratio of ~2.84
    This year 2 Star rating products has Energy efficiency ratio of ~2.84

    So this year 3 Star is more energy efficient and costly too

    ^^ I don't understand. If the Energy efficiency ratio for both (2 and 3 star product) is same, then why one would be costly then the other?

    Don't exactly know.Please suggest me a 2 ton AC which is energy efficient.
    Is Voltas a bad company?

    ^^ I think Daikin won't fit into your budget for a 2 tonne one. If you can extend the budget and go for Daikin/o general.

    How much does it cost?
    Can increase the budget if it's value for money.

    For 2 ton split,
    Ogeneral will cost around 45 to 55K
    Daikin will cost around 50 to 60K

    Consult your local dealer. Different models have different features. So, list your features to the dealer to suggest a model from the brand.

    There are 4 types of gold 1.5t sac, I'm talking about gold 2 star (2S). LINK

    MRP 31490 INR you can get 8-10% discount from distributor shop.

    Installation charges 1k + 3-4k for a digital stabilizer (V-guard recommended)

    Why do dealers offers 8% discount?
    Are Bluebird stabilizers bad?

    I'm talking about distributor cum dealers, they generally offer 8-10% discount on MRP, because they offer discount to sell you LOL.
    Never heard of bluebird, I prefer v-guard, it is a old and very reliable brand.
    BTW What kind of AC are you looking for?
